Non-clairvoyant Multiprocessing Scheduling of Jobs with Changing Execution Characteristics, with J. Edmonds, T. Brecht, and X. Deng. Twenty-ninth ACM Symposium on Theory of Computation, 1997, 120–129.
This paper
provides upper and lower bounds on the competitive ratio of online job
scheduling algorithms for a variety of classes of scheduling algorithms (how
often they can preempt processors) and a variety of classes of job types (what
their speedup functions look like). The results of the paper apply even if the
jobs are allowed to have multiple phases, where each phase has a different
speedup function but are still in the same class.

Method
Validating a Signed File or an Unsigned File Prior to Execution, with B.
Dresevic and G. Hitchcock.
This patent describes a way to reduce the likelihood that code executed
in a font file will cause the operating system to crash.
System
and Method for Secure Font Distribution, with D. Simon, J. Benaloh, G. Hitchcock,
and D. Meltzer.
This patent describes a way to sign and verify a digital signature on a
font file, even if the font file undergoes a process called subsetting, where
some of the glyphs in the font file are deleted from the file, which would
invalidate a normal digital signature.
